Isaiah 6
1In the year that the Melech Uziyah died, I saw Adonoi sitting upon a kisse, high and lifted up, and His robe filled the Heikhal.
2Above Him stood ministering the + 6:2 flaming seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.
3And one cried unto another, and said, 1 Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, is Hashem Tzva'os; 1 kol ha'aretz is full of His kavod.
4And the doorposts shook at the voice of him that cried, and the Beis + 6:4 Hamikdash was filled with smoke.
5Then said I, Oy (Woe) is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen HaMelech, Hashem Tzva'os.
6Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his yad, which he had taken with the tongs from off the Mizbe'ach:
7And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Hinei, this hath touched thy lips; and thine avon (iniquity) is taken away, and kapporah is made for the purging of thy chattat (sin).
8Also I heard the voice of Adonoi, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? Then said I, Hineini; send me.
9And He said, Go, and tell this people: 1 Hear ye indeed, but understand not; 1 and see indeed, but perceive not. 1
10Make the lev HaAm hazeh stubborn, 1 and make their ears stopped up, 1 their eyes heavy; lest they see with their eyes, 1 and hear with their ears, 1 and understand with their lev. 1 And have a spiritual turnaround conversion, 1 and be healed. 1
11Then cried I, Adonoi, ad mosai (how much longer [will this go on])? 1 And He answered, 1 Until the towns be wasted without inhabitant, 1 and the batim (houses) are without man, 1 and the ground be utterly desolate, a wilderness, 1
12And Hashem have removed men far away, 1 and there be many forsaken places within the land. 1
13But yet in it shall be a tenth, 1 and it shall be given up to destruction, 1 like the terebinth and like the oak, 1 when they are felled, leave + 6:13 as a remnant a root-stump: 1 so the root-stump shall be the zera kodesh. + 6:13 T.N. This next chapter is possibly the most important in the Bible and is dealt with in The Translator to the Reader.
